The boys are putting some serious miles on their bikes this summer.

Cole got shots :)

Cole is doing a basketball camp right now.  He loves it, but not when I take pics!

Crazy boys swimming!  

About 2 minutes after this picture it started to rain so hard we had to leave.

Liv is working on choreographing her floor routine with one of her coaches.

We tried a new ice cream place called Frozone.  The ice cream is served in rolls!

Also, checked out the local swing park.  Its located under a bridge in downtown!

Ethan went up north with friends this weekend so he wasn't around a lot.  I spent time at Girls Camp last week.  I can't believe I didn't take any pictures, but our Bishop did get this one of me trying the slackline at camp.  It's not as easy as it looks!

Ethan had his last game and tryouts this week.  

He made the team again for next year!  

He has really developed as a player this year and we are so proud of him.

Cole went out to breakfast for all you can eat pancakes with some buddies :)

We are officially out of school for the summer, which just means my life got busier :(  

But we did survive week one!

Shawn and I traded in my car on Monday.  

Just trying to support Shawn's car ADHD :)

Cole tried out for a new premier soccer team.  

It was hard work, but we found out on Friday that he made the team!!

We are so proud of him and all his hard work.

We attended Ethan's 8th grade promotion.  Ethan HATES pictures so this was the best I could do.

And I got this one also from the dance later that night.

Cole and Liv walking to the bus on the last day of school in the rain!  Cole will be going to middle school next year so this is the last time they ride the bus together for a while.

I took the kids to the beach one afternoon.

Ethan was at the beach also, but with all his friends.  They all ride their bikes down and hang out at the beach for hours.  He is out there in the lake with all the kids. 

Swim Parties!

Late nights and bonfires!

Ethan started working this week.  He got a job working for a food vendor at the summer festivals downtown.  This weekend he worked the Polish Fest and next week he will work Summeriest!  It's boring work, but its a job!  He gets to work with a bunch of cute girls.
